I beg that we get a chance to fight Lord Recluse and the like in a COH event. Possibly when I7 goes live?

[/ QUOTE ]

The in-game character will be in Grandville (I heard) giving out a TF to villains, I think. The dev that used the board name Lord Recluse is no longer here.

[ QUOTE ]
I just wonder how when ever there's a mention of an update of some sort, it always digresses into complaints and comparisons and discussions of some sort of nerf/buff issue. I'm not upset, I just don't understand the logic of how it got to this point since there are no nerfs or buffs that I recall coming in I7.

I just wish there was more info on what's to come But all good things come in time.

Welcome to the forums!


Seriously, some like to complain, some like to disagree and some like to post. As for me, home with 2 little ones under 2 years old, you guys are my only adult conversation and I hate daytime tv.

Stop that! Don't pity me!

*sob*

That doesn't have to be because of 'new' people. Although, if they're really new and can type, that's quite amazing, my almost 2 year old isn't taking to the whole 'potty' concept... But I digress. It may not be 'new' people, but rather forum regulars you've scared the heck out of by making sense ocaissionally.

I was saddened to hear this was in Austin.
I was extra sad to hear of a similar location in New York, just a state away, but this location didn't have plans for a similar event.
Ah, well...

One thing at a time....

You guys like beaches and sunshine? Tampa! Great hotels on the causeway halfway between Clearwater and Busch Gardens! Busch has conference rooms... big ones...

I like the leather idea! Seriously though, I worked in a lab for awhile, scrubs and all that. I like being color coordinated.

[ QUOTE ]
Ok... the next event should definately be in Maine.

I have seen a couple other Maine-iacs on these boards, and as a father of two and the owner of a boat I think I'm qualified to say that this would be the perfect place for just about any event.


Although all this talk about people posing as other forum posters I think is wildly amusing. I just hope no one pretends to be me without a labcoat. (I wear a labcoat when I go out in public) I don't think I'd want any incarnation of me to go to an event like this without a labcoat.

Zeus - god of style

I volunteer. I have many labcoats. White ones, patterns, designs... ohh, a black one.

*wishes Austin was closer to Florida*

States post on Emporwerment stations

So, even if I'm getting it wrong, I'm not imagining it...

Good to know.

CoV 1-40, CoH 1-50.

It makes sense to even them up before working on them evenly. I have no doubt that future updates will be more or less even, the next may even be a bit CoH weighted

[/ QUOTE ]

That was my assumption as well. Granted, it's late, I can't remember where I heard it, but somewhere I thought States or Recluse or somebody said that i7 for CoH would also be i1 for CoV. Combining issues like that might mean one issue would have a little more hero content or villain content, but the first issue after CoV launched would be to get the villains to level 50 and bring the hero graphics up to CoV's levels.

I'll look through of the dev posts I saved from beta and a couple of live chat interviews tomorrow. Right now, my contacts hate you all. Don't take it personally. My contacts hate my monitor right now too.

Don't you just love the idea of the environment changing as you're having an epic battle in the midst of it all?

Oh yes.

I'm playing Devil's Advocate for a sec:

What about the people that only have CoV? Don't you think they are elated to get new content after having a toon stalled at 40 for 4 months while their hero counterparts are strolling around at 50?

I think Abe Lincoln said it best: You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.

[/ QUOTE ]


I'm still amused at my own imagination. CoH has had 5 updates. Imagine if CoV followed CoH's development path exactly... No new content for heroes for 4 more updates...

<insert maniacal laughter here>

[ QUOTE ]
so far what i know about it, it probably seems unlikely, it sounds a lot more like Siren's Call writ large.

the reason why i ask is that i primarily play with a Mastermind, and im sick of getting ganked by stalkers while in warburg, a FFA map is fun when you want it, but when you don't, there in lies the rub.

anyway, question asked, answer if you please/can.

[/ QUOTE ]


I rarely make assumptions, but in this instance I will. Recluse's Victory has been said to be a future version of Atlas Park with a dynamic environment. If the heroes are winning the zone, it's a pristine Atlas. If the villains are winning, the zone is trashed. That tells me it's a hero vs. villain zone.

Or...maybe...If I took a Polaroid photo of my monitor, then photocopied it, and then used that to make a sand painting. Could I show the sand painting?

EDIT: OR!! What if SHE took a Polaroid of a sandpainting I did based on her description? Would THAT be ok?
Mwahahaha!

For some reason this just really scares me lol.

States hinted in another post that newspaper missions for heroes wouldn't be from newspapers. I think that's what he meant with that, like a police scanner or something.

[ QUOTE ]
We were told long ago not to worry about CoH issues being delayed because of work on CoV, due ot the fact that they had seperate Dev teams working on them.


[/ QUOTE ]

I'm thinking that after CoV was launched, the teams were combined. Or, some hero only developers, some villain only developers and a few combined developers. Or, one story team for each game but one programming team for both.

I don't know, just guessing.

I do agree that content for people who do not own, nor intend to own CoV is warrented. But, I don't blame them for being stingy with the hints. There may very well be some hero only content that just isn't quite finished enough yet.

Sorry Kitty, I can't jump on your bandwagon. I'd rather a few new sets.

Eletric melee and armor would be new!

I want an offensive storm set for blasters and dominators. Nuts, I know. And I've no clue how it would work. I just want it.

As several have noted, I7 features content mostly for City of Villains (levels 41 to 50, in fact). This is exactly what we did for CoH. City of Heroes will receive a cool graphics upgrade, new base items (Empowerment stations!) and access to Recluses’ Victory. It’s true that CoV received more attention, but that’s mainly because we needed to fill out the levels. I had the option of releasing I7 or waiting until we could fill out the City of Heroes content. Obviously, I chose the former. New content should get out there when it’s ready. We'll be focusing equally as much as possible on each product moving into the future...


For those who have speculated that Newspaper missions are coming to City of Heroes, they aren’t…yet. That’s coming a little later in the year. I’d like to add something different to the CoH system…

[/ QUOTE ]


Forgive me, but I'm a sick puppy. I'm literaly giggling to myself imagining what would happen if CoV followed the exact same development path as CoH. That would give villains 5 issues before heroes got one more.

Yeah, mean, I know.

For the record though, maybe a proverbial bone for heroes would squelch some of the dissention.

Wow, now that you mention it, it almost sounds like that story is begging to be written.
